Nintendo 3DS XL Review
For Nintendo's harshest critics, the 3DS XL is likely to come across as a missed opportunity. Why no second d-pad, when the existence of the Circle Pad Pro suggests that Nintendo should have included it in the original version of the console?

Nintendo 3DS XL review
Nintendo's update to their 3DS console isn't a revolution of form, but is more comfortable to use, sturdier and classier than its older brother, writes Tom Hoggins.

Nintendo 3DS XL
In the days after my review of the original 3DS I fell more and more in love with the console. As re-releases surprised and Nintendo started to release new titles that warranted critical acclaim, the reasons for owning one multiplied.

Nintendo 3DS XL review: bigger and better
It's been a week since the Nintendo 3DS XL arrived in the Shacknews office. And I am absolutely in love with it. Yes, the XL is simply a larger version of the 3DS, but it's an upgrade that's entirely worthwhile.

Nintendo 3DS XL – review
After barely a year, Nintendo is already upgrading its 3DS handheld with a supersize model. While the company is known for updating kit – it did so several times with the Game Boy and DS – the 3DS XL isn't the big leap forward from the original that many gamers were expecting.

Nintendo 3DS XL – bigger display or what should you know before you buy it
Nintendo may have had our childhood or that of our kids but they haven't been doing very well these past few years. Last year's attempt to penetrate the portable gaming industry was a flop.

Nintendo 3DS XL
Tweet When we first got some brief hands-on time with the 3DS XL a few months back, it was a bit of love at first touch. Having played with it considerably more since then though, the first love has become a full blown love affair. The reason, in part, however, has remained the same: namely because...
Pros:
- Larger screen makes for greater immersiveness
- Excellent build quality
- Increased battery life
- Reasonable price
Cons:
- Power cable not included
- Still no integrated second analog stick

Review: The bigger, better and much-improved Nintendo 3DS XL
The 3DS XL isn't readily available in stores yet in this country. Data Blitz has some units for sale, but they're the European version. Thankfully they include a free charger with the price, which isn't too far off from the listed overseas retail-P10,500.
Pros:
- Great
- big screens
- Better
- sturdier
- more attractive case
- Better designed and relocated buttons
- Better stylus placement
- and better stylus
- Better battery life
Cons:
- Still got underpowered cameras
- Lousier
- weaker speakers
- Still no second analog stick

This 3ds xl is much better compared to the normal 3ds with a bigger screen and better 3d graphics. The upper part of the xl is kind of shaky and unstable but otherwise it is a good device compared to the normal 3ds.

Nintendo 3DS XL review: bigger is better, but it's still not quite enough
After playing with the 3DS XL, we returned to the original only to find it difficult and awkward to use in comparison. The new size is an improvement in so many ways, including ergonomics and playability.
Pros:
- Bigger screen improves the 3D effect significantly
- Improved battery life under some conditions
- More comfortable to hold and use
Cons:
- Digital content still lacking
- No secondary analog stick
- Not the most powerful of handheld hardware
